Summer is here, which means more time spent outdoors. Therefore, like many American homeowners, you may tend to your lawn frequently. If you want to grow and maintain a beautiful lawn and garden, you'll need the right fertilization feed. Make things easy by hiring a fertilization company. Here are some questions you should ask them.

1. What Grass Varieties Do You Work With?

Did you know all grass isn't the same? Just like any other plant, grass also comes in various species. Therefore, it's essential to find a lawn fertilization company with experience working with a lawn like yours. You don't want them to use fertilizer that works against the natural composition and soil on your property. The wrong feed does more harm than good.

2. What Is the Fertilization Schedule?

You should have an idea of how often your lawn will need proper fertilization. All fertilization and grass aren’t the same, but according to Tom's Guide, a lawn should be fertilized four times annually. Because lawns need regular care and fertilization, you want a good idea of when you can expect the lawn contractors to return. You can ask about the frequency of treatment and which months your yard will require treatment. Most experts follow a strict schedule to ensure your lawn stays in great condition. Since we experience all four seasons here in New England, we'll usually need to make adjustments to the lawn at that time.

3. Do You Offer Other Services?

Although fertilizer is essential to caring for your lawn, it’s not the only care it needs. So, it's a good idea to ask a lawn fertilization company if they offer other services. Some may offer irrigation installation as well as aeration services. Many also offer general lawn maintenance, such as mowing, pulling weeds, and planting certain plants.

As you can see, there are several questions you should ask a lawn fertilization company before hiring them for a job. As long as they’re a reputable service, they shouldn't hesitate to answer any questions you have. Luckily, we’re such contractors and have been in business for over 50 years.
